Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for an engineering evaluation of the concrete Slab On Grade (SOG) at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) Landover Warehouse. The primary goal is to determine the maximum load capacity, appropriate loading patterns, types, and criteria for the existing SOG, and to provide engineering recommendations for enhancing its capacity.

• Structural Evaluation: Conduct a site survey, review available drawings and existing conditions, and perform necessary analysis and testing. Original shell building drawings are unavailable, so the contractor must use methods such as site visits, measurements, and technical testing to gather information.

• Documentation: Submit a signed and sealed technical report including analysis data and drawings for BEP review and approval. Provide a preliminary schedule one week after award and at the kickoff meeting. Archived documents will be provided for informational purposes only; the contractor is responsible for gathering all necessary information.
